i wanted to ask you experienced guys, i did my first alarm instalation last week and i just wanted to know if i did it right i got  the 12v positive from the fuses and with the door locks what i did was that since the wire coming from the alarm to give the signal to open or close didnt have enough power to move the switches i put relays. was that a good way to do it?

the relays are fine as long as they are connected right. as far as getting power from fuses., thats ok by the normal possition to get power and ignition is the key cylinder wires.

mecp certification is not always needed. I have it and it has not helped me out at all. my experience out shines it.

The 03+ GM trucks are NOT your typical keyless entry; they use a data bus to control the locks and the lock modules are found in the individual doors. Get a data-based bypass module like a Directed 457G to make the install MUCH easier.

that truck is very easy for the people who have done them before. however for a new person it is hard because there multiple modules involved that have to be used. either a 457g(controls door locks) 555l (controls Security key feature) or this is a unit by dei that controls both in one instead of two seperate i just forgot what it is. I think it is a 456gw or a 457gw

Close, but you got a couple of the part number backwards.  The 456g controls only door locks, and the 457g(or 457gw) controls the locks and the security bypass.
